Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Are you having ice storms back there yet? I kind of miss seeing the pine trees encased in ice. Kind of. Such pretty tinkling sounds as the frozen needles knock against each other in the breeze.
No ice storms yet. Just cold. I'm getting all my clothing layers prepared for classes next week -- the university never cancels classes, even when everything else in the county is closed, and the classrooms are all ridiculously over-heated, so I need to have enough layers so that I'll be OK in both 0 degrees and 80 degrees.
Hil, you really need a better apartment. I hope you find a new job and get out of there, but if not, you should move.
My dog is in for her spay operation and I am having trouble concentrating on the trials and tribulations of the students and faculty on this first day of classes while I wait for the phone call that tells me everything went fine and she is doing well.
There's a layer of ice on the inside of my bathroom window.
Mine too.
When they rehabbed my place, they replaced all the windows except the bathroom one. If it gets really cold I could cover that window with plastic so showers would be more comfortable.
We have a high of 10 degrees today, and I am home with the office crud. No one has figured out if it's a cold or a weird strain of flu. Either way, it's cut a swath through my department and I am the latest to fall.
Also worried about ita.
Oh! Speaking of weather, I might be getting screwed out of my Caribbean work trip next month! Or I might get to bust my ass and take on a higher-level thing there at the same time. One or the other, tbd next week.
Heh. My boss is organizing a 1-day trip to Chicago for all the freelancers, and she emailed everyone to find out what dates were not good. Everyone has replied to all and said "PLEASE pick a warmer month!" Apparently last year the trip was in January and was ridonkulously cold. I might stab someone if I have to take a trip in this weather to an even COLDER place.
I am kinda rocking today. I've done the thing requested by my boss, checked invoice queue, check reconciliations, and have started report for tomorrow.
Also contacted potential tutors for Mac, updated contribution amount for my 401k, and sent out an group email I needed to get before Sat.
I still want to get to the trip planning, but all this other personal stuff is more pressing.
